printerspot have a review of the Olympus P-11 and write, “The P-11’s design is simple, practical, tidy, and stylish — somewhat Bauhaus, somewhat Star Trek Borg cube (so I’ve heard). Power and USB cords tuck into its side sliding panel and extend conveniently out the back so you can position the printer toward the back of a desk or table.
With one button (power) and three indicator lights (ribbon, paper, access), the P-11 makes printing difficult to screw up. Easy printing also means you don’t have any manual options to control printing from the printer itself. Even direct PictBridge printing (through the USB port to the left of the indicator lights) only offers you the ability to select which images to print, the number of image copies, two sizes of print (4 x 6 and 3.5 x 5 inches), and with or without borders.”
It is a nice basic photo printer for personal use. The printer has decent printing speed. It has a stylish looking box-shape. Compatible with Mac too.

PCMAG have a review of the HP Photosmart A716 and write “One big difference between the 475 and the A716 is that the A716 boosts the hard drive capacity from 1.5GB to 4GB, almost tripling the number of photos you can store. As with the 475, when you use the A716’s video connection to view stored photos on a TV, you can use the printer’s remote control to move through the photos, edit them, and create and view slide shows, almost as if there’s a photo album on your TV. But unlike an album, if a friend or relative likes a particular photo you’re looking at, you can press a button on the remote and print a copy.”
The HP Photosmart A716 Compact Photo Printer delivers lots of features, great-looking output, and, in an important step forward for HP, nearly waterproof photos.

pcmag.com have a review of the Lexmark C770n, in this they find if you have medium-size office with light printing needs, the C770n would be overkill. This printer is for high-volume printing, the C770n’s standard input capacity is 600 sheets, divided into a 500-sheet tray and a 100-sheet multipurpose feeder.
Setting up the C770n on a network is typical simply connect a network cable and power cord and run the fully automated installation program.
Lexmark rates the C770n at 25 pages per minute for both monochrome and color output, text and graphics quality are far more important than photos for business use, and the C770n does well on both.
Overall - Fast. Excellent paper-handling options. High-capacity toner cartridges. Prints PDF and other files from USB keys.
